Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell
2.0

It's good to know some aspects of my tastes haven't changed since I was a kid. Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell probably wouldn't have been my cup of tea as a kid and it still wasn't my thing. Don't get me wrong, this is not a criticism of the writing this book simply wasn't for me. As a general rule, though I will admit to a few exceptions, books about solitary people surviving in the wild just don't really interest me and I found myself mostly just bored by this book. So far, my son said he likes it, so I will be curious to see how he feels about it in the end.
